Usb Wifi driver RTL88x2B

[dead36900]

hi. I bought a usb wifi device from Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL88x2bu [AC1200 Tech key]. I want to install the driver. I looked through the discussions and found no information on how to do this. I have a repository

https://github.com/RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver and the command to install

git clone "https://github.com/RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver.git" /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-git
sed -i 's/PACKAGE_VERSION="@pkgver@"/PACKAGE_VERSION="git"/g' /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-git/dkms.conf
dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v git
dkms autoinstaller

initially, he complained that there were no linux headers. I downloaded it from you and tried to install it, there were errors.

I had to use
dpkg -i --force-all linux-headers-6.12.30-meson64_20250522_arm64.deb

box:/usr/driver#dpkg -i linux-headers-6.12.30-meson64_20250522_arm64.deb

was installed, but still errors.

I re-entered the command to install the driver from the repository. the driver is not being installed.

Please help me

Hi there, In those errors showing up when you tried to install kernel headers you have info about missing dependencies, first install those packages which are missing, then try to install kernel-headers one more time to check if there are no errors. If all is fine then you can try to compile the driver.

Thanks, I'll try. Packages: libc6-dev, bison, flex, libssl-dev right?

[dead36900]

install packages
apt install libc6-dev
apt install bison
apt install flex
apt install libssl-dev
